Exciting news: Sun People Dry Goods Company, your very own locally-owned retail store specializing in sustainable products for the home and garden, now provides service for proper disposal of hazardous household materials, including compact fluorescent light bulbs, batteries, inkjet cartridges and cell phones.




These products contain heavy metals such as mercury, lead, and nickel, which can contaminate the environment when improperly disposed of. Cell phones and light bulbs also contain valuable materials that can be reused for new products. The Environmental Protection Agency and many manufacturers encourage proper recycling to protect the environment.

The Spokane community is welcome to bring used compact fluorescent light bulbs, batteries, inkjet cartridges and cell phones to the store’s collection station. The collections are then sent to Earth Works Recycling, a recycling center located in Spokane, where any waste is safely removed so that it does not enter the environment.

The recycling drop-off is located inside Sun People Dry Goods Co. at 32 West 2nd Avenue, Ste. 200, in downtown Spokane. Store hours are on Tuesday through Saturday from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. and Sunday from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Store is closed on Mondays.
